@visual I've never heard of those and had to Google them, never tested them either. Just looking at them I'm going to have to say their Chinese, their constant voltage not constant current and probably even patent infringing against Permlight, maybe why their newest ones are PVC. At what...

Rick beat me to it on the "Broker" part :thumb:

Welcome to the board neighbor, and I share your enthusiasm for the trade. In reading what you're looking to do, and in almost a similar startup many moons ago I thought I would chime in with a few words of advice. If your intent is to execute a contract directly with a client for "fab &...

---> Sign Syndicate Special 100 NC LED HLCS2 Modules for $99.99 <--- As some of you may already know The Sign Syndicate has been testing NC LEDs since 2010 in Project Tighty Whitey, The Red Light District, & Blue Light Special and after the first 8,000 hours I was pretty impressed in...

Another part I forgot to ask or pass on is, do you know if your inspectors are contracted out by the city, or are they full time employees. This is good to know because if they are contracted out then they are paid each time they appear, good for the city to know that they are over paying for a...

If I were in your shoes which I'm not I would have engaged him to ask him if my installation was per the approved building plan specs, if so then he has no right to waste my time about whether a UL recognized power supply is really UL Recognized. At that frivolous point I would be making a call...

Generally no, nor would proper Class II rated wiring Security or thermostat wiring need to be. If they are asking for conduit ask why? If you ever have an issue for something that is not in the NEC then get in contact with the head inspector, NEVER be afraid to go over the head of your field...

Anyone know some vendors or mfg's who make those extrusions for holding a aluminum advertisement or name plaques used on the sides of big rig trailers/ buses or smaller truck trailers? They look like a sign cabinet retainer but it just holds a flat piece of aluminum or other substrate in place...

Here is a suggestion for the time being, and it may not even apply to what your doing and maybe posting a visual/proposal would make it easier. If you don't want the "Doctor is in" visible when the tube isn't energized then maybe use a black background, or red background and go with a clear...

Well. You know Desiree, if you want to be sarcastic to individuals offering you advice (viewing your reply before you edited it)that have experience in fabrication & installation in the electric sign industry for a living then you've come to the wrong place. Obviously posting such a picture...

I thought I would throw in my two cents about cabinet lighting. If you want a premium light source and not something Chinese, then we have a high powered LED that's used for both large channel letters and cabinet lighting. The Diodes are Nichia of Japan, who are well known for their superior...

I've seen a ton of jobs built by fabricators that were poorly put together, small to large nationals. In either case a lot of what I put out can make a huge difference even in conjunction, and won't happen rioght off the bat but take affect over time. This sign requires a lot to have 7'...

20' run? What guage for the secondary, and what did you load each 60watt PS to? Did you account for voltage loss as well? Take your meter and see what your voltage is for each line going funny? Are the LEDs constant voltage or constant current? How many LEDs are their per string? How were...

A big concern is "usable light". LED's and T8 lamps look bright, but they look bright at the source or fixture vs a T12, that is deceiving. The T12 while a larger diameter, throws/disperses the light further. It all depends on how close your fixtures will be from the table tops, floor...

If your a quality custom electric sign shop in the trade here's something that can separate yourself from the Wannabes and hacks who use nothing but cheap chinese components giving them the ability to bid lower when it comes to LED channel Letters, and claim "LED" which translates the end users...

Anybody ever have this affect from using a quality vinyl like the 3M translucent series? It's happened to me before, but not sure if it's from perhaps facility maintenance cleaning the building faces with possible detergents or pressure washers, or the client using chemical to clean?

We've had a Shopbot for years, the PRT Alpha with columbo 3 HP spindle (220v) and mainly use it for electric sign production working mainly aluminum and lot's of acrylic. We've never had an issue, glitch or problem. Flimsy? Working with a lot of aluminum, haven't experienced that. Bolt...

We just started selling something similar and was about to make the announcement soon.

Tech 22 makes a controller that you use with their SST Tranniesfor this, so does one other mfg which escapes my memory at the moment, if Tech 22 doesn't then chime back and I'll try to locate the other. Tech 22 makes awesome little electronics for Neon. http://www.t2-neonpower.com/

Haha, well take some pics of the sign after their LED conversion from the no name and have fun with it until they call you. You can even tempt the client that going with you, you can assure a 5 year electrical warranty, doubt they would even get a 1 year from your competitor. On the Axioms...
